2017 Map of Kitchings Mill

About this map

The S Fork Edisto River carves a broad, marshy corridor through this landscape, defining the character of the region south of Kitchings Mill. This 2017 survey details a landscape where numerous small impoundments and wetlands, such as Baughmans Pond and Goodyear Pond, dot the tributaries feeding into the river system. The settlement pattern is scattered, with significant activity centered around recreational and natural landmarks like Aiken State Park Lake. Historians and genealogists can identify several key river crossings, including Pine Log Bridge and Keadle Bridge, which have long facilitated travel across the swampy lowlands. To the northeast, Tyler Cem and the waters of Dean Swamp Cr mark established landmarks, while the presence of Sandy Island near Davis Bridge illustrates the complex alluvial geography of the S Fork Edisto River valley.
